NEW YORK (AP) — Francisco Lindor will play at least one more minor league rehab game before the New York Mets decide to activate their shortstop from the injured list following a two-month absence because of a strained left calf.
Lindor will play his third rehab game Tuesday when he plays for Triple-A Syracuse. He split this weekend playing for Double-A Binghamton and Syracuse and was 1 for 8 while playing shortstop.
"We'll re-assess after the game and see what's next for him," manager Carlos Mendoza said before the Mets were scheduled to open a four-game series against the Cubs on Monday.
Lindor was scheduled to take at-bats in a simulated game on the field Monday, but the session was canceled because of heavy rain. Instead, he participated in indoor baseball activities.
"We'll see whether he needs a day off, if he's ready to come (back)," Mendoza said. "He's just got to get through tomorrow and we'll have those discussions."
